Tread, White & Blue 5K Trail Race
The Tread, White & Blue 5K Trail Race at the Whitewater Center in Charlotte, NC is a trail running event with a single distance: 5k. Runners choose a color—red, white, or blue—during registration to determine their 5k division and the arrow color they will follow. Each color sends participants along a different route and the course maps are revealed on race day.
Registration options include pre-registration at $45 (last day: July 1, 2027) and day-of registration at $50. Packet pick-up is scheduled for July 2, 2027 and the race takes place on July 3, 2027. Race shirts are guaranteed for those who register on or before June 21, 2027.
Participants must sign the Whitewater Center Assumption of Risk Agreement before participating; the waiver can be printed and brought to packet pick-up or completed on site and is not included in the online registration form. Race registration is non-refundable. Trails remain open to other runners, hikers, and bikers; participants should communicate when passing. No e-bikes or powered transportation are allowed. Events are scheduled to proceed rain or shine, and the Whitewater Center may alter, reschedule, or cancel events.
Post-race refreshments include a specialty bomb pop drink with a choice of champagne or hard seltzer for those 21 and older, with non-alcoholic options and valid ID required. Awards are given to the top three overall male and female finishers of each race; recipients must be present at the award ceremony to receive awards. Parking fees apply.
